Mozilla are leaning even more into AI, with the announcement today of Thunderbolt - their open-source and self-hostable AI client.
Mozilla are leaning even more into AI, with the announcement today of Thunderbolt - their open-source and self-hostable AI client.
So I read there article and all I can think is…
Run AI with their choice of models: as long as it’s on our approved list and you pay for it.
Connect to systems and data: Uses your data to train our system so we can sell your knowledge to your competitors.
Automate workflows and recurring tasks: Completely removes your ability to make decisions and understand what is happening.
Work seamlessly across devices with native applications for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android: Until we decide it doesn’t, or maybe it will only be window. Either way you’ve lost control.
Maintain security with self-hosted deployment, optional end-to-end encryption, and device-level access controls: While allowing us to monitor your whole work flow remotely and monetize everything you know.
Where are you getting these limitations from? They’re not in that article, and I went to the project’s page to double check and they’re not there either.
At this point that’s basically anything. Including all the popular open frameworks fro running local AIs.
What? This is like setting a cron job. Does cron remove your ability to make decisions or understand what is happening?
It’s open source, like the other projects Mozilla maintains. Do you apply this “they could take it away from us at any time!” Concern to Firefox as well?
Any source for this? Seriously, I know there’s a lot of anti-AI sentiment around here but you’re hallucinating worse than Gemini.
